I've added a little test project to demonstrate the behavior. Just run it
and point your browser to http://localhost:8000/static/myfolder/. Of
course I could use `staticfiles_urlpatterns` for serving files in
development. For this example I used `static` and added `show_indexes` as
an easy way to see that the folder really is there
(http://localhost:8000/static/ works as expected) but navigating to
anything else just doesn't work.
Is there any resource for a standard staticfiles layout? I tried to peek
at djangoproject.com but was surprised to see that it doesn't even use
staticfiles.
